Following use in the 1968 Battle of Britain film, the Shuttleworth Trust's Spitfire G-AWII/AR501 was stored and then entrusted to restoration by a joint team from the East Anglian Aviation Society/SVAS at Duxford starting in 1973. AR501 took to the skies again in the hands of Neil Williams on 27 June 1975 in its clipped wing configuration and wearing the colours of 310 (Czech) Sqdn. It is seen here a year later taxying out to return to Old Warden after its display Current in 2025 with the Shuttleworth Collection.
